89. Aside from the term "chicks" being used
Edited on Mon Jun-27-05 04:28 AM by shadowknows69
I don't think any of the comments were misogynistic. The case can be made for caucasian media bias. Why would that be a big surprise for anyone? Their(CNN, CBS, NBC etc.) target demographic is more than likely affluent white males age 25-54. I've worked in and around the news media (granted small market but there are some constants) and I tell you, there is a order of priority with any story that comes down the pipe. In the media that I worked in (radio) we had limited news time as do the networks. The 24/7 channels have no excuse though. IMO they should sit there and reports every tragedy in a category that they "wheel out on the meat slab" (my affectionate term for what I call ambulance chasing journalism)
